\n" );
document.write( "It is my understanding that the square root of a \"number\" squared is the \"number\".
\n" );
document.write( "If this is true I would solve this as: Z=1000+1592 so Z=2592, but Im not sure this is correct \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #110731 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Z=sqrt((1000^2)+(1592^2)) \n" ); document.write( "No, if there were a * (multiply) between them it would be 1000*1592 \n" ); document.write( "but if there's a plus or a minus you have to do the math inside the radical \n" ); document.write( "then find the square root of that \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "You can prove this to yourself with a calc: Enter |
